Fearsome Farmer - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: The Daily Life of a Farmer

10 anti-inflammatory grass, 10 blood stopping grass, five Iron Wolf Poison Grass, three Iron Dog Poisonous Grass, and three Iron Head Poisonous Grass.

These were the other rewards of Li Siwen’s work during the night. He had ripened them using Vitality Points. If not, his green orb wouldn’t be able to accumulate all the Vitality Points from destroying the roots.

In fact, by now, the primary use of the Vitality Points wasn’t to increase his attributes anymore. Under the restrictions from all kinds of short sticks, he wasn’t able to freely increase his attributes.

Therefore, he was mostly using the Vitality Points to grow more resources now, making full use of its effect.

It was about 7 AM now.

Li Siwen collected three gourds of dew, ate a big fish for breakfast, then had a comfortable sleep. After that, he was fully invigorated and sowing his farmlands.

He divided the almost five acres of farmland into nine smaller farmlands.

Out of the nine, the anti-inflammatory grass and blood stopping grass occupied two of them. This was very important, it affected his life and death.

As for the Iron Wolf Poison Grass, which causes dizziness and vomiting, it occupied one farmland too.

The Iron Dog Poisonous Grass which causes numbness and caused wounds to rot occupied one.

The Iron Head Poisonous Grass which caused profuse bleeding occupied one.

Dog’s tail grass and the remaining weeds, bush berries, and the like occupied two farmlands.

He left the two remaining farmlands with the largest size empty for now until he found something to add. He would use them when he bred some millets and plant them on a large-scale.

Basically, everything was going according to his plan. Li Siwen didn’t do his work sloppily, planting each seed in the right depth.

His farming skill still needed half a month before its cooldown finished. But it wasn’t very long, his hard work now could be considered in the participation rate too.

He worked until noon and had completed sowing almost three acres of farmland. Then Li Siwen returned to the treehouse and checked the water tank. It didn’t have any cracks on it yet, which was good news. However, it wasn’t dry enough yet.

Instead, the dried pork meat was almost 70% dried.

Li Siwen hung the pork meat closer together, leaving space for the fish to dry. He placed all of this food inside the treehouse, constantly roasting them on the stove. Inside, the stove was also stacked with a certain number of dog’s tail grass to repel mosquitoes, flies, and insects, ensuring the quality of the food. This could be considered being another use of the Vitality Points.

After resting for about an hour and his stamina restored to 50 points, Li Siwen went to the flooded valley with his mountain ax and shovel again to dig some more soil. This time, he would not make a water tank, but some tiles. This could avoid the water seepage in the treehouse to the greatest extent when the rainstorm comes.

Li Siwen placed a lot of importance on the making of these tiles too. Making use of the water here, he made a mud slab like the one yesterday and brought it back to the treehouse.

Laying a stone slab on the ground, he activated Spirit Vision and molded pieces of tiles with his steady hands.

Because he needed to consider the waterproof component and the link between each tile, Li Siwen spent some time thinking before deciding on the simplest wave shape.

That is, first use some mud to make a block of mud with a side length of 35 cm and a thickness of 5 cm on the stone, and then cut a half-moon shape on it with a strong grass stem, leaving room on the left and right sides. Cut out two smaller half-moon arcs. It looks like this (~). It’s ugly, but it ensured that it interlocks the left and right to the greatest extent to prevent rainwater penetration. That was if the roasting process didn’t cause problems.

Li Siwen molded 500 of such tiles. After all, he needed to test it first, then learn from the experience.

Next, he rushed to the flooded valley again and dug more soil, because he needed to mold more bricks.

The technical skill needed for this was much lower than making tiles, but he needed to prepare some grass first, then crush the grass and mix them with the mud, to prevent cracking.

Then, throwing a suitable amount of mixed mud on a patch of grass, and using his hands to mold it, a mud brick with a thickness of 10 cm, a width of 20 cm, and a length of 30 cm was formed, and it could be built into a simple furnace once it was dried.

And so, Li Siwen did this all the way until evening, until the flowing trickles of water in the valley stopped flowing. By then, Li Siwen had made 2,000 plus mud bricks. Spread out on the grass, it looked quite spectacular.

But it was lucky that he had already killed the wild boars. If not, they would destroy his hard work if they charged across it together.

Li Siwen stared at the fiery setting sun after spitting out a foul breath. After a long time, he suddenly laughed. This kind of life wasn’t too bad either.

Carrying his ax and making a round around his territory, he returned to the treehouse. He blocked the four skylights first. Then, after hesitating for a long while, he finally opened the attribute bar, extracted three Vitality Points, and added them to Agility.

This time, he waited for an entire three minutes before the dizziness kicked in and he lost control of his body and surroundings. His muscles started convulsing, but unlike last time, there seemed to be a string being tightly stretched in his body. It was like he was a puppet tied to the end of this string, continuously being pulled and adjusted. The process was from an initial disorder to order, then to stability and balance.

Suddenly, the string flicked. At this moment, Li Siwen felt that all the bones in his body were crisp from being flicked. He regained control of his body, except that there was an indescribable soreness in the bones. It’s like there were countless ants crawling in them.

Therefore, even though his muscles had become normal and his sense of space became normal, he still couldn’t move, only able to lie there and tolerate it.

After half an hour, Li Siwen climbed up. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He was only increasing his attribute by a bit. Was there a need to torture him like this?

However—

“Nice!”

Seeing the new talent in the attribute bar, Li Siwen was really going to cry from joy.

“Talent: Stable Level 1. Description: After improving the comprehensive physical fitness to a certain level, and there is no obvious shortcoming, there will be a certain opportunity to get this talent.”

“Description: This talent is a passive talent and need not be activated.”

“Description: When the overall physical fitness continues to improve, that is, on the original basis, for every point increase in Defense attribute, three points in Agility attribute, and six points in Strength attribute, this talent will have the opportunity to continue to improve.”

—

“This is great, I have two talents now. Does this mean I am going to have a huge growth now?”

Li Siwen smiled triumphantly in the dark, but did not continue to increase his agility. Instead, he rushed out of the treehouse like a leopard cat and jumped to the ground. With just this series of simple actions, he knew how precious this Stable talent was.

This didn’t directly increase his combat power and also didn’t make him become very formidable.

This stableness was like there really was a string fused in his bones, muscles, nerves, veins, coordinating them to his breathing and movement.

Therefore, even though his running or jumping speed wasn’t much faster than before, there was an extra sense of ease now.

When hacking with his ax, although he might not do more damage than before, he could better hack and stop as he wished now.

This minor change was enough to affect the result of a battle.
